About the Sonnets

For the believer and the non-believer alike, once in a while a work comes along which leaves us with nothing more to say than "inspirational." Sonnets to the Lord is just that kind of work. Using the rigid yet rhythmically rhyming structure of the sonnet, the author gives at once heartfelt praise, and then unwavering gratitude to the Lord of Hosts Who has redeemed us from our earthly sins and purchased for us the priceless banquet of heaven.

Whether Christian or not, poetry lover or not, you have to feel the depth of emotion exuded in these sonnets as you are awakened to the vivid imagery in Sonnet to the Lord  and then soothed by the comforting phrases in Sonnet on Hope. The deep meaning of each poem is packed tightly as though into a coil ready to spring forth and enlighten all who happen to touch it. You cannot read this collection without being changed for the better!

These thirty sonnets were written so that one could be read each day, bringing solace and comfort to all of us who tread wearily within this human domain. Moreover, the careful design of the sonnet lends a unifying structure which not only imbues the reader with confidence but also endows him with a sense of faith, hope, and love. What more could be asked for from a poem?

So incline gently in your chair, grab a warm drink, and cozy up to your loved one or pet. Immerse yourself into a beautiful world of poetry: a world where eternity is glimpsed, love is understood, and spirituality is rekindled.
